The risk of artificial intelligence manipulates people

Artificial intelligence warning experts can interpret the activities in the human brain and act against the will of the user.

Many experts warn of the risk of machine-connected brain connections (BCI) controlled by artificial intelligence, meaning that human thoughts, decisions and emotions can be made by artificial intelligence. contrary to the will of the user, Newsweek reported on November 8.

The team of 27 neuroscientists, ethics and artificial intelligence engineers presented this concern in the scientific journal Nature. In the article, the research team gives a hypothetical example of a paralyzed man and uses a BCI trial, which helps decode nerve activity in the brain to control a machine arm.

If at any time, this person feels uncomfortable with the scientists, artificial intelligence can read his thoughts and hurt himself even if he does not receive any direct orders.

Development technology means that people are coming to an age where decoding mental activities and directly controlling the brain mechanism behind human intentions, emotions and decisions can be feasible, the research team wrote.

At that time, people will communicate with each other only through thoughts, powerful computer systems directly connected to the human brain, making interaction with the surrounding world easier, physical ability and brain power. Significantly enhanced.

To prevent bad situations caused by artificial intelligence, the team suggests, there are 4 ethical priorities to be addressed: privacy and approval, consistency between the body and the mind and ability to choose. choose action , the intervention enhances the physical or mental ability of the human being, bias induces sexist or racist behaviors.

Many companies are researching BCI technologies , including billionaires established earlier this year. Neurolink is developing a wireless brain interface capable of uploading or downloading information from computers to enhance human intellect.

According to the team, if one realizes the potential of this technology, humanity can advance to a new era of technology. However, it is necessary to address 4 essential ethical priorities to ensure that technology will bring benefits, not harm people.
